Sweet Gum Trivet

This Sweet Gum Trivet from Michael Michaud is cast directly from real sweet gum leaves and finished in gold. The trivets are functional, not just decorative, but the studio recommends using them below 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 Celsius). Michael Michaud Table Art is handcrafted in New York City.

The Michael Michaud Table Art collection features beautiful home accents that are cast directly from nature. Michael has been forming molds of natural elements into beautiful pieces of art for over 30 years. Each piece begins with a mold created directly from a botanical element using a process similar to the lost-wax casting method. Table Art is cast in pewter and plated in gold, with some designs also incorporating zinc, brass, sterling silver, semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls and hand blown or lampwork glass. These molded pieces are then transformed into unique and functional home decor and kitchenware. Michael Michaud's Table Art is handcrafted at the Four Seasons Design Studio in Bellmore, New York.
